Bottle Logic Brewing Thread - Spring 2017

Not really , I can't afford to buy $30 500ml bottles of stouts because I spend all my money on port and cocktails.

 

Here's the prices over at beerbelly_la

Edit:not my hand

 

I'd pay that for FF but definitely not GS. Mainly because I've never had FF

 

wow that's really high even for beer belly...

 

Saw a video on Instagram today of the bottling line showcasing plenty of recently filled 'Level One' FOb3 bottles so I'd assume the Eventbrite sale should be any week now.

 

Considering trade value, ~$34 a bottle ain't too bad. Just sayin'...

Bottles too. Not draft.

 

Where'd you see this?

 

This is the IG video he was referring to

Who's instagram account is that from?

 

Some guy named David Hall, I think he is the assistant brewer but I don't keep track of BL employees so I am not certain. I did not know how to extract the proper IG link from the FB post, otherwise I would have done that.

 

I've just started using the eventbrite to acquire my brews, first one ever was M@M and Now Punch Out, Now I will have a chance at getting one of these bottles of fundamental. Is it just as hard as the can releases from Noble or worst?

 

Everyone is claiming that they are making a lot (but who knows?) so you should be able to get bottles as long as you're fast.

 

Bottle Logic mentioned that starting with Iridium Flare, they've scaled up production significantly. Iridium Flare was a level 2 release, and they had a TON of bottles, they didn't even sell out before the sale was over. FOb3 is a level 1 release, so I'm guessing there will be a ridiculous amount of it in bottles, probably around 5,000-6,000 bottles.

That being said, the demand is not the same. Iridium Flare was a good example of too much supply over demand. FOb3 will sell out QUICK, even with the big increase in supply. There are still going to be tens of thousands of people F5'ing the moment they go online. The Noble can releases are good practice, though. If you've gotten those cans (which are only about 500 allocations each release), then you should be able to get these bottles quite easily.

 

Was Iridium Flare really an oversupply if it sold out in a day? Sound like there is still more room for the demand.

 

Iridium didn't sell out

 

Really? I thought it sold out a day later. Were/are they selling bottles at brewery?

 

Bottles that didn't sell in the online sale are going out to distro. You will be seeing these bottles at a TON of liquor stores in SoCal in the next week or so. There doesn't seem to be a big demand for Iridium Flare for some reason, but I really enjoy it. That marionberry/honey/bourbon barrel combo is a knockout.

 

They were not selling at the brewery. Lindsay said they "hit their target" and would start distribution. Im guessing there are going to be a lot of bottles out there. Definitely not a bad thing.

 

BL increase in volume started long before Iridium Flare. If I recall correctly, FO b2 was already a huge batch. It allowed them to make some other beers as big as FO b2 was. Don't know if that means b3 will be even larger than b2 but b2 was pretty easy to acquire. I want to say it sold out in minutes not seconds?

 

FO b2 was an immediate sell out.
